Chapter 10: Let's Go!
Victor felt that he was thinking things too tender. Overestimating yourself.
Previously, he felt that he had advantages that people of this era could not match at all, and he could shake Hollywood and gain fame and fortune if he did it casually. Now, it seems almost a joke.
Think about it carefully, Hollywood has almost all shijie film elites, how many talents, which one is not talented, and how many are there in the early stages? Most of them are not slaughtered like sheep by these film companies? Hollywood is Hollywood, this is a place where the dragon is hidden, it is a press, a swamp, and it is too difficult for a person to become famous single-handedly.
Seeing Victor like that, William Fox smiled proudly: "Young people, when you come to Hollywood, it is most important to have self-knowledge, in addition, you must have a grateful heart, so you can do it." So be it, you leave the script here, I'm thinking about it. ”
"Victor ......" John Ford winked at Victor.
Victor nodded helplessly, stood up, and led Gregory Peck out.
"Wait." Fawkes stood up, came to the two of them, and looked at Pike, "This young man, it's not bad, is there a proprietor?" ”
"Huh?" Gregory Peck was stunned.
"What he means is, have you signed a contract with another company now?" John Faure acted as an interpreter, then poked Victor and whispered, "Where did you get the man?" This guy is good. ”
Victor suddenly cried and laughed, damn it, Fox is such a chicken thief, he just met and set his sights on Pike.
Isn't this a bright digging of your own corner?
But then again, Pike has his own freedom of choice in this matter, Victor got Pike back for $500, and he didn't sign any contract, there was no legal constraint, and more importantly, he was favored by the big boss, and everyone understood what it meant.
Victor's heart sank to his heels.
A shy smile appeared on Gregory Peck's square face, and then he raised his head with a resolute expression: "Mr. Fawkes, you have to ask Mr. Ferro about this, I am his man now." ”
"That's it." This time it was Fox's turn to have a headache.
Sure enough, it's Pike! The upright Pike in history. Myself, I didn't see the wrong person. Victor was happy.
"Nacheng, you go back first, and I'll think about it later." Fox was disappointed.
Coming out of 20th Century Fox, Gregory Peck couldn't help it: "Mr. Ferrol, how can Mr. Folks? ”
"What's up?" Looking at Pike's angry look, Victor laughed.
"Profiteers." Pike looked angry, a little childish.
"Hehe, even you can see it?" Victor Road.
Pike: "Our script, it's clearly very good, he said no?" Mr. Ford was satisfied! ”
"I'm more interested than you do." Victor let out a long sigh.
Back at Grape Hills, Leo hears the news and is about to kill Fawkes with a gun bare-chested, but is kicked back by Victor.
"This bitch raised it, is it clear that he wants to hack you!" Leo has been in Hollywood for a while, and he still knows some things: "Since the script is very good, he said no, probably because he wants to pressure you and exploit you to the maximum!" Hollywood, these people are all bastards! We can't afford to lose this! ”
Victor rubbed his temples: "What else can you do if you don't suffer?" We don't have anything now, and a finger can kill us. ”
"I can't bear that!" Leo shouted.
Victor bit his lip: "If you can't bear it, you have to endure it, we don't have the strength now, and when the scenery is in the future, we will treat this old fox fiercely." ”
"I'll be the first to get on the spot." Leo said viciously.
"Where's Anthony?" Victor looked around the room and found no sign of Anthony the Fat Bear.
"He? After you went out, he answered the phone and hurried away, saying that he was going to downtown Los Angeles, probably to talk about things. "Leo doesn't care if Anthony lives or dies.
"Let him go." Victor didn't care even more.
The three of them sat down to discuss what to do next, and the phone rang.
Leo took it, hummed a few words, hung up the phone, and turned to Victor with a funny expression: "Your uncle, who was knocked down, is now in a tavern on the West Side of Los Angeles, and the other party asked you to come by name, saying that if you don't go before dark, they will mail you the fat guy's head." ”
"What?" Victor squirted out a sip of coffee.
"Mafia, mafia for sure." Victor couldn't even guess what was going on.
"Mafia? How did you guys get into trouble with the mafia? Pike was a good young man, and his face turned white with fright.
Leo smiled heartlessly: "Messing with the mafia? Hey, little Pike, you don't know, this one across from you is the bloodline of America's greatest mafia boss. ”
"Huh?" Pike looked at Victor and fainted.
"Stop talking nonsense, say, what now?" For a while, Victor was really a bit of a mess.
"What to do? Very easy to do! Leo sat on a stool, smoking a cigarette, looking like a second-rate child: "If you absolutely have nothing to do with that fat bear, don't care if he lives or dies, if you think it has a relationship, let's go and get a hand, I want to see the legendary mafia." ”
Fuck you! Victor cursed in his heart, you think the mafia is those gangsters outside! Those people don't blink an eye.
"To go or not?" Leo looked at Victor, waiting for him to make a decision.
"Go!" After thinking about it for more than ten seconds, Victor nodded.
Victor is very afraid, the name and deeds of the mafia, he doesn't know how much he has watched in the movie, which one is not a rain of bullets.
However, Victor is a man. Not to mention anything else, Anthony was able to run all the way from New York to find him, which already shows that this guy is loyal to the Ferro family, although Victor doesn't like the mafia, but Anthony can't ignore his friendship.
Big deal, it's death.
"Haha, let's do it! I'll prepare! Leo Daxiao snorted and rushed into the room.
In the living room, Gregory Peck was nervous, Victor was anxious, but Leo, like a chicken, took a big black bag and threw it on the ground.
"What, what is this?" Victor asked.
Leo: "Of course it's a guy!" How can you do it without a guy? ”
Victor opened the bag, which was so dirty that he couldn't see the original leather, and his eyes fell to the ground.
I saw that there was a mess of everything from pistols to short guns, from shotguns to submachine guns, and grenades, and there was a lot of black pressure.
This thing can arm a platoon in a war!
"Where did you get so many weapons!?" Victor Road.
Leo took out a pistol from it and stuck it behind his waist, lit a cigarette, and said something that made Victor and Pike collapse: "It's all fake, the props are." ”
Depend on! Victor's eyes rolled.
……
The car sped off.
Victor really admired Leo, and in less than two minutes after going out and turning his face, he got a car, even though it was a classic car, it could drive like an airplane, and the body chirped when the horn didn't sound anywhere.
"It's exciting, wait a minute, it's all up to me!" Leo looks like a big brother.
From Hollywood to Los Angeles, it's not far, it's not very fast.
It was not yet dark, and the city was bustling with people.
"We're going into a big city." Leo stared at the beautiful girl on the street in a daze, and said: "When you're done, come out and have a good time, I heard that there are many Nordic girls in Los Angeles who have a good ...... body."
Victor couldn't cry or laugh: "It's two different things whether he can come out alive or not!" ”
"I have this confidence, I!" Leo laughed.
The West Side of Los Angeles has beautiful scenery and high-rise buildings, and most of the areas here are occupied by people with status, but adjacent to these places, there are always many dark areas, and it has also become the most haode hiding place for gangsters.
In the United States in 1940, gangs were rampant, and the police often couldn't do anything about them.
The three men drove into an on-road road, and in the distance Victor told Leo to stop the car.
At this time, the weather was overcast, it began to rain lightly, and there were few pedestrians on the road.
"Is this the tavern?" Victor looked diagonally across the street at a tavern with a sign that read: "Chinese Restaurant."
Also a Chinese tavern. This fate!
"Hmm. Can't be wrong. Leo looked around and said, "I've been in Los Angeles for five years, and I can find it with my eyes closed." This piece is the territory of the mafia, these two streets are prosperous, casinos, high-end office buildings, villas, cinemas, banks, all of them, if I can occupy a street, I don't have to worry about it for the rest of my life, and I still have to be a bullshit actor. ”
Victor didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and said, "You go down first, feel the situation, and we won't fight an unprepared battle." ”
Leo nodded and was about to get out of the car, but was stopped by Pike.
"I'll go. As soon as Leo entered, people probably recognized him at a glance, and he was not a good person. I'm still there. ”
Pike told the truth.
It's hard enough for Pike to do this, a serious person doing this......
Pike got out of the car and trotted into the tavern.
Victor and Leo waited outside, waiting and waiting for Pike to come out.
"Pike's bitch isn't going to be killed, is it?" Leo turned to look at Victor.
Victor was about to speak when he heard a pop in the tavern.
Gunshot!? Gunshot!
Victor was dumbfounded.
My day! The greatest male star in the history of future cinema won't just hang up, right!?
